The Algorithm of Descriptor Based on Differential Histograms Under Polar Coordinates
Descriptor of features point is vital application of many computer vision tasks. Therefore
this paper presents a novel algorithm to design the descriptor of image feature points based on differential histograms under polar coordinates (HWDH).Firstly
the neighbor area of feature point is divided into nine small patches. Then
Gradient differential is produced by harr wavelet on every small patch and a dominant direction of the feature point is computed by Scale Adapted Harris detector which is improved. Lastly
histogram is generated from the differential statistic. In contrast to other descriptor based on differential histograms, the description generated by our algorithm needn’t to rotate in the around area of feature point. Therefore
it can deduce the error from statistic. Moreover
the comparative experiments illustrated that the proposed algorithm is more rapid and accurate than SIFT.
